A narrative that is not factually true is often made up for entertainment purposes.

It seems to me that somehow there should be established a bank of all these DNA results that come up as human contaminated, and unknown primate,such that over time there would accumulate enough samples to begin a systematic comparison . it seems like every time such results are arrived at that's the end of it. The samples are destroyed and the results dismissed. Sure, theres no real centralized unknown primate DNA analysis center, but there must be a way to obtain the direct data of the studies(ie genetic markers present in sample, or not present, for that matter) I dont know what it costs to complete a genome mapping, but it seems like they are getting done for more and more species, maybe its time to try it on a couple of these unknown primate sample. Eventually these samples will begin to fall into groups with shared traits or similarities. Are there anything like this already in existence? Ones that included a variety of different regions samples? I can't say what Dr Disotell does with the data he sees sample by sample, It seems like Dr Sykes threw out half at the get go then destroyed the rest after he proclaimed the resurgence of the Himalayan grizzly(or was it a polar bear) It just strikes me there's bound to be distinctive commonalities within all these samples , which if fully charted out could at least lend itself to some degree, towards some form of classification or taxonomic placement, or at least "oh yeah, that goes in that pile over there..." Of course this is presuming the government doesn't grab up any samples of significance and already "doesn't have any such data bank whatsoever! Thank you very much"!

That is an excellent point. I have often wondered if there a record of increased activity evacuating from such awful circumstances. Thanks for sharing.

It was a matter of time. I must say the back and forth dialog with members or character actors,if you prefer with the star story teller was amusing. Until it wasn't. So we can now confidently say this forum is not deceased. Thank you all who played your part quite well. Thank you Norse for knowing the perfect time to end the show.

I banned him.

Les Stroud has posted on his Kickstarter page for supporters of his new Bigfoot show, the following. "Hearts have been broken throughout the Sasquatch community with the loss of our dear friend Jeff Meldrum. I have the unfortunate, honour of having conducted the last ever interview with him and it was by chance, a compelling long form discussion on all things Sasquatch and so I will remain honoured to include it in our film. He went places he rarely goes with the direction of the chat. You will also get it from me in its full version as a separate interview. Jeff was a legend and a gentleman and a very generous and giving individual. He was a titan in the research world of relic hominids." So there's hope to see the man one more time in this pending feature. Les is fortunate for that opportunity and sounds like he's grateful and wants to do it justice.

^^^^^^ This. Forget about the mystery monsters and get help fixing your marriage.

I got out for a solo run on Sunday afternoon to the Bear Creek watershed on the east side of Harrison Lake. The weather was mild and broken clouds, until I reached the summit of the east ridge of the valley, when the wind picked up and brought in cold showers. Of course, I didn't take any pictures on the way up, so all I captured was cloudy views of the lake, 4600' below. The only signs of wildlife were some deer tracks, bear scat, a few squirrels, and 1 skunk, but it was refreshing to get out in the mountains after a few weeks in town.

^^ I agree with the "Don't even entertain the idea of killing one" at this point in your (Josh's) Bigfooting endeavors. It sounds like you might be way too fast to pull the trigger on what you think is a Yowie only to find that you've shot a person.

I dunno, she didn't stand with him during his darkest days, so she has shown her true colors. If someone abandons you in your time of need, they should be tossed to the curb. Marriage is supposed to be a commitment to your partner in good times and in bad. Especially in bad. Don't even entertain the idea of killing one. They are closer to human than you think and it would be akin to murder.

Howdy once again, I’ve had a lot to think about since I last posted, but first an update; I went to my mother-in-law’s to speak to the misses, I explained to her calmly that I believe in the existence of sasquatch and she doesn’t need to believe in it, but she has to support me in my pursuits. Even though I explained calmly and gave her time to understand it all (as a woman she's slightly slower than us men), she flipped out and started screaming at me to get out. I don’t know what I did wrong, but I’m in the process of booking a consultation with an attorney to draft up some legal jargon. Sorry for that dump of personal doo-whop, but I thought it best to update y’all on every aspect of my previous post. On the aspect of the “bigfoot scam”, I’m not really wanting to go into it heavily, but essentially there was a group in Wollongong that was planning a hunt for the beast, and skipping over some personal details, basically they managed to get into my bank and transfer out my funds to another account that I was unable to track. I notified authorities; however, they said that it’s unlikely that the assailants would be caught. Now I’m back to selling off my vinyl collection to keep up with bills. (on that note if anybody is a fan of weezer or radiohead, reach out, as I’m in the process of selling some older pressings). The hunt with the lads is still on for Sunday and I’ll let you all know how that goes in a separate post. Thanks for all your replies. Also, what equipment would be handy to bring on the hunt (there’s six of us for reference).
